Man, I envy people who can have any chance of doing that. To have so little that requires your time would be magical.

[Clownwarlord]

Well ... spend one day playing 72 matches and the next 72 matches. Or 36 matches a day for 4 days. Or 48 matches a day for 3 days.

[bad arcade kitty]

144 for 6 flags, 72 for 6 bonus millions, 54 for 6 warhorns

also 144 for 9 days it's just 16 games per day

16 games a day = average match of 7 minutes + 1 minute for searching + 1 minute for random between match randomness; 9m per match = roughly 2 and a half hours per day, every day, for 9 days...

assuming you never fail to score.

It is NOT hard to find 2.5 hours per day to play games if you are a free person.
Me and my brother both play MWO OR other Co-op games 2.5 hours a day easy and both have AVERAGE work hours.

Ah, I'll assume you're kids (excuse me, young adults), in your 20's or so? No real responsibilities beyond holding a job? Maybe a girlfriend? Yeah.

Wait a while, see just how well that holds up.

Edit: To be clear, I don't fault you folks who have that time, I was sincere in my statement. I envy you folks. Sadly, when one has a family, needs to work, maintain a house, care for children? You can't just hole up and play video games for hours on end; wives and children need attention, meals need cooking, the endless mess children create needs cleaning, household stuff needs fixing (to a level you can never believe until you have children)... The list goes ever on.

If I can get an uninterrupted hour of gaming 4-5 times a week, I'm very lucky.

Why do you want 3 flags from 2 different continents? Are you an American who wants some Greek flags to show solidarity in these times of financial difficulties?

For most people, 3 flags from one country is quite enough. So you need 12+12+12 matches from one server, and 24+24+24 matches from another server. 108 matches. 9 days and 12 matches per day. Assuming an average income of 150,000 C-bills per match due to premium time, that's over 15,000,000 C-bills and a 6-million C-bill reward on top.

Meh. Doesn't really matter to me. I guess I'll go buy some more weapon modules or something. It'll be nice to have those flags though.

[Wintersdark]

Thankfully, I don't want the flags at all. I'd like the warhorns, though. While the cbills are nice, they're not really necessary either. I'll get plenty just playing.

[CycKath]

With my normal play time divided between so many game (STO and GTA online daily objectives) 2.5 hours a day is an ask, but should be able to slam out most of the games needed on the weekend.

There is still 9 days worth of time left. If you win just 8 matches a day, you can get all the C-Bills. Who cares about some flag?

Everyone wants a German flag of course, Alistair I can't blame them.

144 matches above 30 points

You do not understand how difficult that is to achieve for a vast majority of the players on my team and the enemy team and just in general.

[zagibu]

No MC, no mechbays...no interest.

Oh, so its just 30 points, doesn't have to be a win? That's easy then. 300+ damage is done in 90% of my matches anyway, let alone assists and kills. Just stay back a bit.

I hope that's sarcasm. 30 pts is achievable with like 3 assists and 200 dmg. You can get that on a suicide run every match just spraying everything with lasers and SRMs. I played over 30 matches today and the only time I failed to get 30 was when some fools on assault decided to cap just 2 minutes in. It's a great time to buy and level up heavies and assaults, btw. I just bought two Warhawks with all the bonus cbills and premium time (totally underrated chassis, IMO. How come no one ever told me?).

[TexAce]

I want one flag (German) and one warhorn, how many matches do I have to play for that and win?

(yes, I'm quite lazy at this moment, do me the favor pls)

[Telmasa]

You guys realize it takes half the amount of games if you don't worry about the flag items, right?

Or that it's still minimal if you go for only 1 flag?
